01 · TERMINAL
Cruise Terminal 28 (Disney, Carnival & Regent)
2702 Harborside Drive, Galveston, TX 77550
Drop-off: Terminal 28 is directly across from Terminal 25 in the downtown port area. The port describes Terminal 28 as primarily Disney Cruise Line's, but Disney does not have it to itself — the port also lists Carnival sailings and Regent's Seven Seas Splendor here, so go by the terminal on your own booking. Drop luggage curbside, then proceed to parking.
PARKING
Same options as Terminal 25: Express Lot (walking distance), Lots A & B (free shuttle), or SMP Garage (covered, at a rate the port quotes when you book rather than publishing). Reserve online at portofgalveston.com. Free shuttle runs between lots and both terminals.
02 · BOARD
Boarding: Carnival's online check-in typically opens about 14 days before sailing, and that is where you choose an Arrival Appointment — a specific window for arriving at the terminal. The earliest appointments typically go first, so check in as soon as your window opens if boarding early matters to you.
- □ Keep your ID, boarding documents, and medication in your carry-on Checked bags may not reach your cabin until later in the day.
- □ Use the arrival time printed in your boarding documents Your cruise line's current documents are the source of truth for check-in.
- □ Keep one small day bag with anything you need before your cabin is ready You may board before cabins and checked luggage are available.
